Museum Annexe (refer to map on page 11 of this worksheet) The museum annexe contains displays that will give you a general introduction to the anatomy and pathology of the human body. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the way the specimens are displayed. Transport Systems Activity One a) See specimen 100024 in cabinet 36B. Examine the thick elastic, muscular vessel walls. Why do you think these vessels have thick walls? b) Cabinet 36B also displays an Upper Limb specimen (100362) with veins exposed. What do you think the bumps in the veins represent? c) Why would the veins appear darker in colour than arteries? Waste Removal Activity Two a) View the cross-sections in cabinet 36C and note the liver and kidneys. Indicate with an arrow, these structures: b) Cabinet 36B also holds specimen 100093, showing tubular viscera from the gut. Why do you think there are many folds or villi within the tubes? 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 2
Main Museum (refer to map on page 11 of this worksheet) Gas Exchange Activity Three a) The lungs are made of functionally separate lobes. These lobes are serviced by air passages formed by bronchii. Label the trachea or windpipe, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchii on the diagram below: View the different lungs in the Thorax Bay and see if you can identify the different lobes on each. Note the spongy appearance of the lung tissue. b) Label with an arrow, the structures which allow gas exchange into the lung tissue (bronchioles and alveoli/air sacs): 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 3
Transport Systems Activity Four a) Answer the following questions about specimen 100106 in the Thorax Bay: A B This specimen is a dissection showing structures in the neck and upper part of the thorax. The structure at the back is the spinal column. Also dissected are: the aorta (main artery from the heart) and trachea ( windpipe ). b) Can you identify the following structures (from image 100106 above)? A) B) 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 4
Activity Five a) What are the four chambers of the heart? 1) 3) 2) 4) b) Can you label the chambers in the following diagram and show the direction of blood flow through the heart (use arrows to indicate flow direction)? c) Label the four chambers of the heart in the following image: d) Why are the walls of the left ventricle so much thicker than the right? 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 5
Activity Six This activity relates to specimen 100109 in cabinet 6A: a) What do you notice about the thickness of the walls of the atria and ventricles? 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 6
Activity Seven a) This activity relates to specimen 100102 on top of cabinet 5C: A D B C E b) Can you identify the following structures in this specimen? A) B) C) D) E) c) Why is the right dome of the diaphragm higher than the left dome? d) Why is the wall of Structure C thicker than the wall of Structure A? e) Consider the location and attachments of the diaphragm. Which direction do you think the diaphragm will move during inhalation? Which direction will the diaphragm move during expiration? Also consider movement of the ribs in inhalation (bucket-handle) and expiration (pump-handle), when looking at the diaphragm and its movement during respiration. 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 7
Nutrient Absorption & Waste Removal Activity Eight a) Refer to specimen 000188 in cabinet 8A: This specimen shows the inside of the stomach. The folds are called rugae. There is a pit in one part of the wall (arrow). This is an ulcer. b) What is the purpose of the folds in the wall of the stomach? Activity Nine a) View specimen 100283 on top of cabinet 10C and in the image below. Label the urinary bladder, ureters, renal arteries and renal veins: b) When kidneys are not functioning correctly, what is the consequence for the blood and internal environment? 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 8
Reproduction Activity Ten View the healthy male and female reproductive organs in cabinet 27B. a) Label the urinary bladder, urethra, ureters and prostate gland on the diagram below: b) The image below is of specimen 100302 from cabinet 27B. Label the uterus, ovary, fallopian tube and cervix: * Tip: Use the posters in the Reproductive System bay, as well as the Urinary Tract poster in the Abdomen bay as a guide when labelling the diagrams. c) View specimen 515 in cabinet 12B. What has happened to the uterus and ovaries with old age? 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 9
In addition to these activities, we recommend you spend some time exploring the following displays in the remaining time: Respiratory System: cabinets 4A 4C plus cabinets 5 and 6. Cardiovascular System: cabinets 5 and 6 plus cabinets 7A 7C. Gastrointestinal System: cabinets 8A 8C plus cabinets 9 and 10. Male and Female Reproductive Systems: cabinets 12A 15C. 2012 Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, The University of Melbourne 10
